WATER SUPPLY

The Scientific American of the
18th instant has drawing OF the
machinery used in obtaiaing water
from driven wells in the vicinity OF
BROOKLYN, New York, from which
the supply Of water for that city Is
largely obtained. A daily supply
of about fifty million gallons Is fur
nishcd from open and driven wells,
the last named class of well fur
nishing one-half Of the entire sup
NV. The wells are sunk in level
stretch of country about sixteen
miles from the city on the South
shore of Long Island. Two-inch
tubes, with galvanized steel point,
above which comes a perforated
brass strainer, are used. These
tubes are driven into the ground as
our readers have seen 1t done In
this city and valley, and are con-
nected together on the surface by
three-inch pipes with suitable gates
and valves through which the wa
ter, flowing or pumped as the case
may require, goes to the local reser-
yoir. Thence through large mains
it flows to Brooklyn, where 1t is
raised by steam power to q proper
height for distribution over the
city. A diagram showing the sub.
terranean streams al different
depths which are pierced by the
driven well tubes. explains hew, al
comparatively shallow depths In I
fairly level strati6ed surface, sup
plies Of water may be obtained.
1t is generally understood tina
the strata underlying Carson valley
on the East side of the mountain
pitches at such an angle that arte
sian wells could be sunk with sue
cess. If the subterranean stream
flowing from the Sierra range coui'
be tapped by a line Of driven well
a large area of excellent land TO
cultivation, as well as surplus TO
the future supply of the city, Nigh
be easily obtained.

As railroad securities advanced
in value upon the signing of the H.
ter-State Commerce bill by the
President, it is fair to assume that
railroad investors are becoming
convinced of the advantages OF gov
ernmental regulation of Interstate
traffic. In every State in which
publicity of rates aud the short
haul principle have been applied
the net earnings Of the railroad
companies have been increased and
AN impetus given to the construc-
ton of new railroads. Figures
from thirteen States Of the Union
are the authority for this state
ment. It is therefore reasonable to
expect that the enforcement OF the
Inter State Commerce law will ex-
ercise q benifcent influence upon
the railway interest. and secure te
the panies that certainty and
permanency of rates which the
pools we're designed to bring about
but which they have signally failed
to accom- plish. The short-haul ant
publicity clauses, if not interfere'
with by the new commissioners
would stop the sudden and yioien
fluctuations of rates that hay
marked the present policy OF tn
railroad companies, and would ten
to bring about that ideal system 0

Their faces are long with look Of dread.
Their eyes are moist and their noses rcd:
For the trials and troubles. and doubts and feaSs
Are the commonest things In Sy1entereA.
Whenever the day Is bright and warm.
They frown and say: Look out for storm"
Whenever IL happens to rain or SNOW
They grumble and say its always 70.
They cat their fruit when IT'S green and small,
For fear Il should blight. or wither and falA
For people will shut their eyes and ears
To omens Of good In Sy1enteres.
The children CRY when they're asked TO tea,
For fear they should fail TO 90. you see;
Then they're kept at home because they cry,
And they feel that the world II Ill awry.
II you give them doll or plaything gay,
They cry for fear IL win break some day:
And II will full soon. for doubts and fcars
Make al things brittle in Sysenteres.
This land Is not very far away.
And you may be wanted there some day

Whenever you can not do as you please.

EVER TRUE.

Joyous At heart 40 . summer day
A lassie stands by the meadow way.
And looks at n face that is very dear,
And wonders in words that know nothing OF
fear
'-will you be true, love. will you he true!
Will you love me as love you.
Will love grow stronger IS years roll on,
And he truest when youth and beauty have
gomez
Will you be true, love. will you be true.'
Joyous at heart on their wedding morn
Husband and wife walk home through the corn.
And each seems to hear the old time song
As. hand in hand, they wander along:
"Will you be true, love. will you he true!
Will you love me IS love you:
Will love grow stronger rs years roll on.
And he fruest when youth and beauty have
goneg
Will you be true. love. will you be truc:"
Joyous at heart when their hair is gray,
Husband and wife together stray,
And hand clasps hand rs they pass along.
And the heart OF each is glad with song:
'You have been true, love. you have been
true.
Loving me well as have loved you
And time and change. and good and ill
Have linked US closer cnd closer still
Hearts ever true, love. hearts ever true.
